Baby cards

One of my friends is wanting a few baby cards to welcome the new additions to our parish.  We worked out a gender neutral colour scheme and I made up this card for her approval. She was happy with it so I made up some kits and we got together today to make them up!!

I used a light yellow card added a floral green background to which I had added a length of yellow ribbon adhering the ends to the back with double sided tape.  The baby is a digital from Clipart Library.  I laid out a dozen on a sheet and laser printed them.  I die cut them with a new stitched circle die.  I cut a coordinating scalloped circle from green cardstock using my Nestibilities.  I used my scallop oval punch (SU) to cut the oval from the inside of the green circle which ensures that it matches perfectly.  The little greeting is a font with a dotted frame which I created in Corel Draw.  I watercoloured all the babies when I was prepping the kits so the assembly of cards went fairly quickly today.  We glued the baby images to the scallop circle and then mounted it over the ribbon using 3D foam tape.  The greeting got the same treatment and that finished up one card.  We made up a total of ten today and when she needs more she will be in touch and I will put together a few more kits.  It was really nice to be making cards with friends!!!  Therese
